GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The complete luminaire designated _______ (identify) shall
be a GE CONSERVA
®
400 luminaire, ordering number _______
(specify C4S or C4SW, plus ordering number logic from catalog)
or approved equal to operate one _______ (specify [250 or 400]
watt high pressure sodium [HPS] or metal halide, or [250 or

The ballast shall reliably start and operate the lamp in ambi-
ent temperatures down to-20°F for mercury or metal halide or
-40°F for HPS.
The luminaire and ballast shall be from the same
manufacturer.
